NASA EXPERIENCE:

Aldrin was one of the third
group of astronauts named by NASA in October 1963.

On November 11, 1966, he and command pilot James Lovell
were launched into space in the Gemini 12 spacecraft on a 4-day flight, which
brought the Gemini program to a successful close. Aldrin established a new
record for extravehicular activity (EVA), spending 5-1/2 hours outside the
spacecraft.

He served as lunar module pilot for Apollo 11, July
16-24, 1969, the first manned lunar landing mission. Aldrin followed Neil
Armstrong onto the lunar surface on July 20, 1969, completing a 2-hour and 15
